16 weeks - How much should I be showing??

This is my first pregnancy and I'm 16 weeks 1 day along. Sometimes I feel like my belly looks rounder -- my jeans and everything are certainly far more snug and will not last me much longer. But tonight, for example, I looked in the mirror and my belly is hardly there. This is my first child. When will I start to really show?

I agree with the other ladies and everyone is different. FIrst pregnancies take longer to show too so just be patient. You'll look beautiful when you show! Good luck and congratulations!

I didn't start really showing until about 26 weeks or so. It all depends on your body type and whether or not you have a short or a long torso.
